Join us yuu know yuu want to~

Just a place for the beautiful people of the D. Gray-man fandom can come together. So we can all cry and hug one another when Hoshino crushes our hopes and dreams. For everyone that comes across this blog how yuu doin? ;)

[the49thname-archive]

Because some rumours are flying round again:

D.Gray-Man is not updating in 10 days (as stated here). There is no official post/announcement on Shueisha’s site, nor is D.Gray-Man included in next month’s Jump SQ. Hoshino has also not confirmed it on her instagram, and has only shown new artwork and progress work of new chapters.

If you want to check for news, please go here and here for news in English, and here and here for news in Japanese (courtesy of hanabimonai). They are by far the most reliable sources of new info, so if you see/hear/read anything about an update check before you post anything. Rumours not only cause confusion but disappointment, and the last thing we need right now are false rumours.

Please give this post a signal boost, as there are many people getting excited and celebrating an update due to false information. Thank you!! ♥

IMPORTANT NEWS ABOUT THE AUTHOR AND THE MANGA!! PLEASE READ!

Katsura Hoshino lost the publisher Shonen Jump square over a dispute of licensing to a foreign distributor… which she didn’t agree with the terms, and Shonen was not willing to find a middle ground. The dispute involved (bad translations, and cutting off some pages which influence the story all for the sake of cost reduction) and many other political, internal and discriminatory issues and problems that just didn’t make her comfortable there any more.. with that, her work team stayed at Shonen since Shonen provided all of the personnel. So she is trying to get a new publisher and recruiting new personnel but this time her own personnel, not provided by a publisher as is the case in Japanese Manga publishing companies. The difficulty with this case is that Shonen owns half the right’s of all the D.Gray Man chapters it has published thus far, and Hoshino sensei the other half. In other words, it’s a legal battle for the sole rights of D.Gray Man between Hoshino and Jump Square. In finding a new publisher the new publisher would have to pay the fee, and rights off to Shonen, which will not be cheap. She cannot make her own publishing because she lacks the funds, and more so with her health condition costs and trying to pay off the rights to buy completely D.Gray Man from Shonen Jump. (This is no different than record companies, a similar case happened to Metallica where they had to buy their own rights to the record company, fortunately they did have the funds) So while she is battling to save her baby from Shonen Jump, getting her health back, recruiting personnel, and trying to find a publisher who would be willing to buy off D.Gray Man, she has to survive and generate income some how as a mangaka, and that implies going to conferences, animecons, and illustrating or releasing short stories and collaborations else where. She is also considering a foreign publisher or even online manga sale in Amazon, Itunes, etc. She is continuing D.Gray Man, she has been and is working on it. Everything that can be done is being worked on hard, and being done, as hard as it can be and as soon as it can be done. Please be patient, and support the Mangaka Hoshino sensei… So her journey back to health is less rough, please support her, BUY** and read her other projects that *leave an income*. So she can get D.Gray Man back, and continue. Please be patient and support (>_<) お願いします！！！. 

PS: I am an aspiring manga, anime artist, and I am well acquainted and aware of the network and world of this art form. I can also understand, read, write, and speak (not perfectly but almost :P ) Japanese, so from what I have read, heard on news, researched, found out and understood from the situation I shared this so that we can support Hoshino sensei. Please be patient and support (>_<) お願いします！！！.

The quoted message above is almost certainly not true. It even reads like a scam, what with an appeal to DGM/Hoshino fans’ emotions (really just a new twist on the same old "Waaah! It’s been CANCELLED!11!!1" ruse) being used to soften people up for all that misinformation.

Some of that misinformation, btw…

"Shonen Jump Square" The name of Hoshino’s publisher is not “Shonen Jump Square” as it was put above (or “Shonen,” or “Jump Square” —I’ve bolded all of these above, btw, so you can see how ridiculous it makes that message look), but a large, well-respected publisher; 「集英社」 (Shueisha). Shueisha owns the magazine D.Gray-Man is published in, and that magazine called “Jump SQ” (pronounced or alternatively spelled “Jump Square”). I can’t find an official reference to the magazine as “Shounen Jump Square” either, btw. Seems to me this person got the separate magazines “Weekly Shounen Jump” and “Jump SQ” mixed up.

"her other projects that *leave an income*" All Hoshino-credited publications have been put out by… (surprise surprise) Shueisha! Not sure what “other projects” this person means.

"I am an aspiring manga, anime artist" If you look at the original post— a random Facebook comment at the end of chapter 218 on the Mangahere website —it says this person is a student at Berklee College of Music. Must be nice to be able to go to music school in the United States while working toward a career path open almost exclusively to hard-working Japanese author/illustrators ONLY…

OK enough of that. The point is that message is some kind of malicious prank that is best ignored. From here on, I’d like to list some far more reliable sources I like to check from time to time. Some are not official, but I find that they are generally well-intentioned, properly attribute sources, and usually get things right. On these non-official sites too, you should be wary about statements where no credible source is provided. Where sources exist, check them yourselves when you can.

CURRENT OFFICIAL, OR OFFICIALLY-SOURCED INFORMATION

• Shueisha’s Jump SQ page for DGM (I don’t know why it’s spelled “grey” in the URL but you can go there and see for yourself that it’s the real publisher’s site): Scroll to the bottom and you’ll see these two lines: [check mark] ジャンプSQ豪華連載陣 (published in Jump SQ mag) [check mark] ジャンプSQ.１９豪華連載陣 (published in JSQ.19 mag) The main page for all Jump SQ (“Jump SQ.19” is a separate spinoff mag) serializations is here. Notice they don’t list completed/dropped series. DGM is there because it is still current.

• Notice of Temporary Non-Appearance In Print (you may have already seen the “hiatus notice” picture directly from the magazine.) The image can be viewed here, and here’s the here’s the verbatim text for those who want to try pasting it into a translating service. Since no one appears to have fully translated it yet, I’ll add my own full translation of the text here.

 NOT OFFICIAL, BUT GENERALLY RELIABLE SOURCES OF INFO

• ティムのしっぽ (Tim’s Tail fan blog) announcements page (Japanese)

• Mangahelpers DGM Forums’ Hiatus and Hang-Out threads. (A lot of people on these forums know Japanese, and so can check more easily into what’s really going on and if new information is truly available. Check these pages for new updates from time to time.)

[yuu--kanda]

-whispers- D. Gray-Man is rumoured to update today…

[kandayuu]

-whispers- it’s not going to sorry :U

[cutlassopinions]

#the mag that it appears in#comes out at the beginning of the month#so why would it randomly be released#on the 20th#also we’re meant to get some sort of notice#a month before the series does come back#so it coming out without any prior notice#on any official websites#is pretty unlikely

[crownedclowngirl]

D.Gray Man fandom - LET'S END THE RUMOURS!

What is and isn’t known about the hiatus has changed.

The author was not fired, she made a deal to terminate the contact and buy D.Gray man outright; she has found anew publisher and has started rerelicing older chapters with the omitted content.

the omitted content was grounds for her wanting to terminate the contract rumor has it the content is Plot reliant on some since and Important to character understanding in all since

there will be a new chapter of d.Gray man coming out soon, Translations may take till mid 2014 thou.

[hanabimonai]

There is nothing on the Japanese web (i.e. official and otherwise reputable sites) supporting any of these rumours, but there’s plenty of evidence contradicting them…

Below is mainly info that those who have seen my myth debunking posts would know already, plus a little extra. <3

So I was talking about the new DGM chapters coming out in Nov. and-

[kandayuu]

*deep breath* hon i don’t mean to pop your bubble of happiness here but there’s nothing anywhere that shows a new dgm chapter is going to be released in fact there’s quite a lot of evidence showing quite the opposite ;v; The only new thing that is being released for sure in november is volume 24, and all of the chapters that will be included in that have been out for a year now

[lastofusforever-blog]

I’m so excited for the new DGM chappy coming out in November. But I hate that they freaking killed timcanpy. He was the only true companion Allen had. When across abandoned him he was there. When Cross died he was there. He had so much going on so many people changing sides he really doesn’t have to many people to trust.

[kandayuu]

dude i don’t mean to kill ur buzz or anything but no one said anything about a new chapter coming out in November. The only new thing that is being released in November is volume 24 :u

Woah there Friends

Yo DGM Fandom! Are you still there? I wanna talk to you about something very important: The DGM Reverse Novels! 

Written by Kizaki Kaya and co written my our beloved Hoshino-sensei, these are supplementary side stories for our favourite characters. You can find them right here on my blog: http://nofutureexorcists.tumblr.com/Reverse_Novels

let me know if any of the links are broken.

❋ It wouldn’t be so strange in this village if it wasn’t for a few things, like the nocturnal murders, the sorcerous barrier closing everyone in, the cheesy promo graphic, the frightened way people avoid locking eyes, or the way no one knows how they ended up in the village in the first place…

Actually, you have to admit, it’s all as strange as can be.

It's hard to tell who has your back from who has it long enough just to stab you in it.

❋ The game in Akuma Village is based on the party game known as Mafia. Outwardly, everyone you meet is just another villager, but every night, someone sheds the act and picks a victim to slaughter under the cover of darkness. When day breaks, the survivors are left to cast their votes. Who did it? Who deserves to be put to death, who is the threat to the rest of you? How many times will it take for us to get it right?

Sometimes we pay so much attention to our enemies, we forget to watch our friends as well. How good are your friends, and how much do you trust them?

❋ This is not a roleplay-only game! The game can be played simply by voting and spectating, without making a time-consuming commitment to the game overall. A new blog is not required, either. Mafia is simply better played with larger groups, so we hope to cater to the interests of all.

[kandayuu]

ok hold the fuck up

TO EVERYONE WHO HAS SEEN THIS POST HERE, ON MANGAHERE, WHERE IT WAS ORIGINALLY POSTED, ON THE MANGAFOX FORUMS, OR OTHERWISE, CAN WE PLEASE JUST QUESTION THIS FOR A MINUTE

BECAUSE HOLY SHIT ok listen up maggots this is lookin to be some straight up bullshit ok, for anyone who has been following any reliable forum for d.gray-man news you’d know that the most we know about the situation is that Hoshino is ill and that the series has been put on an indefinite hiatus because of this

I don’t know where this new shit is coming from but i personally want to see some solid proof before jumping to conclusions and flipping the fuck out

like literally guys this has 200 notes already please wait for some legit looking confirmation of this instead of spreading possible rumours

[dgmfandom]

In other words check the source lads and lasses and others

[dgmfandom]

Please say it's not true that DGM manga is cancelled. It's hard enogh that the anime DGM's seasons 3 & 4 are not going to be dubbed in English but to lose it all is heart breaking.

It's not cancelled, per se. It's on an indefinite hiatus due to Hoshino's health. If you look on the lineup for the monthly magazine it's published in you'll notice it's listed as D.Gray-Man: [absent]. Don't know when it's coming back, but she hasn't given up yet.

[aren-walker-deactivated20131115]

DGM announcement: Somewhat new info

“Due to Ms. Hoshino’s Progressing Illness, D.gray- Man Has been canceled in the monthly manga Magazine, Jump Square. Both Shueisha and Ms. Hoshino, Thank us the fan’s for sticking by with the manga for these past years… Let Us wish and hope Ms. Hoshino will get better. As for the continuation of D.GM, It will have to be when Ms. Hoshino recovers, And find a new company to publish her work.”

A full translation, unlike before, has been made. Jump Square removed her completely, so the fans must wait until Sensei is better, and also until she finds a new company to publish her works.

She has also released a new one shot, “Demon King".

There has also been an extension to the hiatus once again, do to the health issue.

[kandayuu]

Please take this down as soon as you possibly can, as the information in this translation of the post is COMPLETELY FALSE. This particular translation of the announcement that was found in the April issue of Jump Square (released in March = not new information at all) was originally posted to dA, and then to a blog here on tumblr, and then pulled after it was proven to be inaccurate.

D.Gray-man has NOT been cancelled but simply put on a hiatus, stated indefinite because the magazine is not entirely sure when Hoshino will have chapter 219 ready for print due to issues with her health.

If the links provided above are still not enough proof that the magazine has not dropped the series, the fact that it still appears every month when they release their lineup for that issue as “absent", should. Please delete this post before you confuse any more newbies.
